Chapter 6.1 - Go to Florida

"Go America."

I'm eating dinner, and my father tells Yeong-seok.

Yeong-seok is surprised to read.

"America?"

"okay. Florida you talked about then. I found out that Florida has a tennis academy. Some active world rankings belong. "

Youngsuk thought it was a good parent.

His father gave him timely words to Young-seok, who had lived his best day by day, but worried that the firmness of the inertia might be weathered.

"Well, you can go for two weeks on a short course, or stay for a month or more if you want."

"Can you go to America alone at my age? What is the cost? How do I get a visa to stay that way? "

Mother scolded Yeok-seok, scolding her face.

"Yeokseok's only thing to say is," I will go, I will not go. " How we prepare and send is not your concern. "

Although she is always a mother of her own, there are times when she firmly confronts opponents with such a firm context. Yeongseok, like a king, was full.

"I'll go then. I have to go. Don't go. At first I want to go back for about a month. I'm going to go there often. "

Young-seok's timid counterattack laughed his parents.

"okay. Pack up if you decide. I'm going tomorrow. "

"Tomorrow? It's winter now. "

"Florida is fine if we go now. If you understand, eat and pack. "

Today, I was a bit of a nasty parent to Youngsuk, but in fact, my parents' heart burns. The spirit is an adult, but the body is now 11 years old. Frustrated, I do not know what to do, but the important conversation with the son is always forced to say such hard words because of the parent's commitment to approach the office and logic.

Yeong-seok answered that he knew it and hurried to eat and pack up.

The heart is shaking as if it's going to burst. If you go, you'll play for the first time with your peers, and maybe you'll have a chance to mix the ball with an active pro.

'Oh! What about Jinhee? '

Nowadays, Jinhee seemed insecure somewhere.

At this timing, I felt that I shouldn't be a month away.

I found out that Yeong-suk had no choice but to talk to his parents. But what a girl.

"I talked to Jinhee's parents. I'm worried that Jinhee is depressed these days. On this occasion, you'll be able to breathe and refresh yourself. Wouldn't it be great to go abroad at that age? "

"But are you nervous about sending only two kids?"

"Huh? Why are you two going? Is it going?

"Yeah??"

Youngseok was surprised.

And Aunt Lee loved to act as a guardian.

"Is there a seminar near Florida, what university hospital? He went to make an exchange agreement with you. It's actually on schedule. "

Yeongseok was fortunate. Because one-sided lungs do not hurt.

***

15 hours.

Yeong-seok quietly heard adults talking about how long it took. There are no nonstops that tell you that you have to make a stopover.

Beside, Jinhee rubbed her sleepy eyes and grabbed Young-Suk's arm.

"Sleepy?"

Jin-suk stroked his head and Jin-hee quietly nodded.

"I'll be on a plane in a little while. Did you catch the plane? "

"no······."

Jin-seok's expression is filled with excitement at Yeong-seok's question.

No matter how premature the child is a child. I can't stop fluttering on my first flight.

Yeong-seok, of course, went abroad a lot in the past life. I have participated in numerous competitions and have lifted the winning trophy. Not as much as normal athletes, but they also signed contracts with sports brands so they could at least pay for their activities.

'I can do it this time.'

Holding firm confidence, he moved toward the gate.

***

"Passengers, now arriving soon…"

As the captain announces the announcement, it is Yeong-seok who grabbed her waist.

It's a seat that seems to be a good place to lie down, but it's been a long time.

"Wake up slowly Jin Hee ~"

Young-Ae checks her sloppy face with a mirror and turns to Young-Suk with heavy makeup.

"Wake up, Jin-hee."

Young-seok gently wakes Jin-hee's body sitting next to her. Jin-hee, who began to take a deep dive into Yeong-seok's voice, was too sleepy.

"Yes ... are you here?"

Did you have 10 minutes to wow and admire the sky? After that, she sleeps all the time.

"I'm here. Oops. "

Yeong-seok cleaned up Jin-hee's clothes and began to take out her luggage.

Of course, I couldn't reach the height and had the help of a stewardess.

"Once I'm wearing a seat belt."

Young Ae dressed up perfectly and gave attention to the children.

Soon the landing with light vibration and noise began, and the plane settled down safely.

"Weather is nice."

It's not cold, it's not hot in Florida.

Young-ae saw a foreigner waving from afar and greeted her.

"Once, I'm going to the tennis academy today. Are you okay?"

"Sure."

What is Young Ae in English?

Surprisingly, Young-seok got almost everything. Jinhee was a little shorter than Yeongseok, so he sometimes only understood a few words. In any case, after the conversation, the foreigner dragged the car. And I put all my luggage in the trunk and urged me to go. Youngseok pleated the forehead slightly, saying that it would take two or three hours to go.

'Your waist suffers.'

***

Bang

I can only describe this landscape by saying it's really good.

Yeong-seok has imagined something of an elite sports facility, with only the academy drifting around and an endless horizon. Old hotels and unmanned gas stations are just a few of the places to stay.

"Amazingly nothing. Not a military facility.

Young-Ae's lightly crunched.

He led Young Seok and Jin Hee to the entrance of the academy.

I simply told the security guard that I wanted to go through the procedure, and they told me that the guard guarded me against the list and passed it through.

"Wow!"

Unlike the rough outside, the inside of the facility was surprisingly modern.

Jin-hee was surprised and admired. The place where I took lessons in Korea was also known as the best facility in Korea, but it was different from the time of the buildings. Youngsuk, who lived in the 2010s, had a modern building with a sense of modernism.

Spiritually led the group forward.

Yeong-seok and Jin-hee were able to get a glimpse of Young-ae, who seemed to know everything.

Soon after, I could go inside a building, explain to the security guard, and enter the office.

"I would like to apply for the 4-week Junior Development Program."

As Young-ae spoke, the office clerk nodded. Jin-hee was staring at the staff to find out if foreigners were curious.

"Jinhee, then excuse me."

It was only after the stone gave attention that the curiosity was lifted.

The office clerk explained the whole process of the program in the words of Young-ae.

Yeong-seok sat still and listened to what the staff said.

1. Basically, accommodation is provided. Sleep should be shared by 4 people.

2. From programs to diets, men and women are distinguished in almost all areas.

3. Rice is provided three times a day, and other nutritional supplements are also provided as a snack.

4. In addition to one-on-one coaching, tournaments between children are held once a week.

5. Basically, the court has 50 sides, of which the junior class has 10 sides. Currently, there are about twenty children, including Young-suk and Jin-hee, who have applied for the program. The necessary information was piled up on the head of Yeong-seok.

'Well, 20 people? ·····? Is it too few? '

In fact, the program is one of the best tennis institutes. Young Suk felt questioned and asked.

"There are only twenty people?"

The office worker was frustrated by the natural question.

"The United States is in the middle of the semester and there are usually a lot of Asians, especially Japanese. Let's go. Yeong-seok is Korean. Of course South Korea? Became the first Korean student since our institution was founded! Congratulations."

"Haha, yes."

Young-seok, who thought it wasn't something to celebrate, got some good information from the staff.

That's what a lot of Japanese are coming. Clearly, Japan has a different level of tennis infrastructure than Korea.

'Well, it's hard to find a different sport.'

Although it is not in the top ten, it was very helpful because it was Japan that consistently produced the world's top 100 rankings. In particular, women's tennis is a good thing in Japan, so I thought it would be helpful to Jinhee.

"There are other aspirants who are about to enter the pros. Ages range from 15 to 20 years old. "

Yeong-seok shone at the staff's words.

"Is there a chance to mix the ball with them?"

The office worker stopped and answered the question.

"It depends on how you do it, Young-suk? They are people who intend to eat and live as a pro. If it benefits them, I can compete as much as I can. "

"Yes sir."

Yeong-seok was excited.

The eyes subsided coldly, and a gruesome fighting spree sprang up.

'What eyes? ······.'

The office worker was appalled, facing the terrible cold, burning eyes of Young Suk.

In the light of years of experience, the child was more likely to succeed.
